Skia

Skia, a beautiful 6 month old puppy, had an unfortunate accident one Friday morning a few weeks ago. She was on the back of a ute and fell off. Her tail was hurt very badly with the end half of the tail de-gloved and literally handing by a thread.

Her owners bought her down to RivaPetz Pet Care be-cause it was a terrible injury. However she was still her happy self. Dr Carolyn needed to amputate the tail the same day.

Skia has gone home happy and comfortable wagging a slightly shorter tail.

At her recheck she was all back to normal, prancing around the room, completely unaware that she has a new look. Her family can't wait for the hair on her short tail to grow back.
